Commentary on Exodus 11:2

Theological / Devotional

Every man. At first only the women were to “borrow” (see on ch. 3:22). Now that the time had come the men were included. It may seem strange that men as well as women were advised to ask jewelry from their neighbors. However, Egyptian monuments picture men wearing as much jewelry — necklaces, bracelets, rings, etc. — as the women.
